Michael Urie

from Backstage Babble · host cbroadwaypodcast

Today, I am so happy to announce my interview with star of stage and screen Michael Urie. Tune in for a funny, fascinating conversation about his varied career, including the type of work he wanted to do coming out of college, being on stage when Patti LuPone took an audience member’s cellphone, the genius of Jane Alexander and Mercedes Ruehl, how he won, lost, and won the role of Bud Frump, reading a gay Company for Stephen Sondheim, auditioning for Harvey Fierstein, coming back from Covid with Chicken and Biscuits, smart advice from Tony Kushner and Jerry Zaks, being out in Hollywood, how he almost did Avenue Q, and so much more. You won’t want to miss this interview.
